5 out of 5 stars Good card, High Overclock   May 9, 2008
G. Card (dallas, tx)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Bought this about a month ago, its been working very well. Was able to overclock to 830/1950/1050. Keep in mind that the stock cooler on this thing sucks, so if you plan on overclocking invest a little in a aftermarket heatsink like the accelero s1/s2.


3 out of 5 stars No game as advertised with this card!   April 30, 2008

I received this card today! It does everything as advertised. 3 star review is based upon the fact I have no company of heros game. I called customer service and spoke with a man named louie, who was very polite and recognized the promotional offer online but could offer no solution. Who is supposed to supply this game amazon or the one of many suppliers? Can anyone explain this? Also as mentioned in a previous review, my card too came with the lame silver sticker. No cool graphics sticker as advertised. I've had descent service with amazon in the past but am left with a bad taste in my mouth on this one. Please do a better job on advertising amazon. Many small leaks unattended will sink a great ship.


5 out of 5 stars Great super graphics card for the price!   April 20, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Best performance for the price   April 19, 2008
ADK (Southfield, MI)

To my surprise, Amazon delivered the card within 4 days after the order was placed even though I used free super saver shipping! Well packed as always. The card went straight in to my PC and I was up and running with no issues whatsoever.

There are countless ravings about the performance of the card so I'm not gonna dwell on that, instead I'll point out a couple of errors in Amazon's listing, which says the card comes bundled with "company of heroes" but it does not. I checked the manufacturer's website and found out that the game bundles come only with the factory overclocked versions of the card.

The heatsink does not come with the pictured cool Geforce decal, instead it has dull black metallic finish, but this is not a big deal (unless that is important to you...)

Couple of technical issues:
The cooling fan makes a lot of noise when the PC is initially turned on but quiets down after a few seconds. I did some research and this seems to be the normal behavior of this card. Make sure you have at least a 400W power supply before plugging the card in (Geforce recommends 400W, XFX recommends 500W), and make sure you have at least a mid tower case before buying the card because it is very long and would not fit in a compact case.

Even though this is a PCI Express 2.0 card, it is backward compatible with PCI Express 1.1 but to take real advantage of the card you'll need a newer motherboard with PCI Express 2.0 (which virtually doubles the data exchange rate), and you should have the CPU power and RAM to back this thing up. Don't expect great performance if you plug this into a 3 year old Celeron or a Sempron with 256MB RAM...

Make sure to download the latest drivers from the nvidia website, the cd that comes with the package has older drivers.

Simply put, the 9600GT provides the best performance/price ratio for any graphics card out there today, and coupled with the double lifetime warranty and a $30 rebate, XFX seems to be one of the best choises.



5 out of 5 stars Scary!   April 14, 2008
The Dude (Richland, WA)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

This graphics card is so good it's scary. First I have to say that I purchased this graphics card because I was building a whole new machine to replace my 6 year old junk heap that could barley run WOW on low settings.

Anyhow, After getting my new machine up and running I was able experience true beauty. I purchased BioShock right after I got the computer built because I wanted something with some intense graphics and let me tell you it was awe inspiring.

My specs:

GFX: XFX PVT94PYDF4 GeForce 9600GT
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
RAM: Crucial 2GB DDR2 PC2-4200 (going to be 4g but one shipment was DOA)
MB: EVGA nForce 780i SLI
OS: Vista Ultimate 64-bit

With all of these components at stock settings I am able to run the game with full on graphics. Even missing half the ram I wanted this Gfx card picks up the slack!

The great performance teamed with a great company and warranty made this the right choice for me. I made sure to get a MoBo compatible with an SLI set up and I will deffinatley be using those extra slots soon as I am definitely going to buy another one of these cards.

Oh one last thing though. I am still using a monitor that only works with VGA, if you are too don't be like me and freak out when you can't find the HDMI to VGA adapter, just lift up the card board at the bottom of the package and waddya know there it is!

Enjoy!
